Stephan M. Spencer
Stephan Spencer’s blog describes him as a “scientist turned Web marketing virtuoso.” And that he is. Stephan is founder and president of Netconcepts, a full-service interactive agency that has helped companies make the most of opportunities online since 1995. Clients include Gorton’s, Cabela’s, Verizon, REI, InfoSpace, Kohl’s, The Sharper Image, Wella, Sara Lee Direct, the American Marketing Association (MarketingPower.com) and MP3.com. In 1999, Stephan decided to test the concept that a true Web company has global connectivity, and moved with his wife and four daughters to New Zealand where he established a production arm for his business. Browns Bay featured everything a staff would want in a job location — cafes, retail shops and, of course, the beach! Today, Stephan continues to operate a U.S.-focused business from New Zealand, with corporate headquarters in Madison, WI. Stephan received his M.S. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has presented at hundreds of Internet conferences and symposia in locations around the world, including London, Berlin, Santiago, Auckland, Toronto, San Francisco, New York, Boston and Atlanta.
